Hurricanes Take Silver at Maritime Hockey North Championship

After a record of 2 – 1 – 1 in round robin play, the Hurricanes would again face off against Hockey North, represented by the Kivalliq Canucks in the semi final, the same team they tied 2 – 2 in the round robin. This had to be the game of the tournament.  It became a goaltenders nightmare, with both teams firing 50 shots at each others net in a wide open, fast paced game.  Hampton  managed to score the extra goal for a 6 –5 win to move on to the Championship Final.

In the Championship Game Sunday afternoon the Hurricanes were up against the Nova Scotia Champions, the Spryfield Silver/Black Attack, who would notch an empty net goal for a 3 –1 win to secure the Atlantic title.

Besides being able to defend the title and return home with the silver medal, two Hurricanes were named as First Line All Stars,  goaltender Matthew Ingraham, for the second year in a row and forward James Hill.

The Hampton Hurricanes would like to thank their sponsors Optimum Ride, Atlantic Press 2000, Belyea Plumbing, Short’s Well Drilling and our fans for their support throughout the season.
